...I have no idea what you people are talking about, so I'll just say that Halo 2 is boring by myself. Halo 2 is the weakest of the series, imo. The most fun I had was playing at a friend's and constantly saying "AR-BID-AR" in deep bass voices.

Eh can never have enough X-Folk so I'm good with Cable,Psylocke and Magneto /quote] True but can we at least get quality? I see lots of quality in Cable, Psylocke, and Magneto. Never said anything about Cable and Magneto. Just Pslocke really. I honestly do not understand how her and Gambit are popular.

Gambit has a pretty original personality for a Marvel character (which is saying something as they cover a lot) and is somewhat of an anti-hero. He is/was a thief with a conman's charm. It's like asking why people like Sawyer from Lost. He's also pretty flawed which is why people relate to him. Plus, in the X-Men he's definitely unique enough. You can only have so many heroic leader types like Cyclops and brooding types like Wolverine. Plus, he has the cool Creole accent and background. New Orleans is pretty fascinating to a lot of people as it's different than most areas. Despite being a melting pot like almost all the US, it's almost been a bubble in that it developed differently than the rest of US areas. As for Psylocke... she's dark, dresses provocatively/is drawn sexily, and she was one of the first Asian influenced characters. So it's pretty much like asking people why they like anime or kung fu.

Thing is Psylocke actually isn't Asian. Thing is, whenever I ask people what they're favorite stories featuring the two are it's usually........ nothin. They either just go off of looks.

Thing is Psylocke actually isn't Asian. Yeah, but she looks like one. Which probably reates to some of the anime fans who eat pocky and ramen and listen to j-pop.

The most fun I had was playing at a friend's and constantly saying "AR-BID-AR" in deep bass voices. It didn't even make any sense to call him "the Arbiter" anyway. An arbiter is basically a messenger--that guy is an assassin, if anything.

So I havent bought a SD game since I think 06. But I've been reading good things about this one, so I bit the bullet and pre-ordered it. Heres hoping I didnt make a mistake.

I mean first of all Keith David>Any other VA, he actually had a personality, found his levels alot more fun, and Cloak>Flashlight.

So I got a $50 dollar gamestop gift card for my birthday, yesterday. Should I pre-order L4D2 or get Brutal Legend or just get $50 in MS points (I love Rock Band and buy songs almost every week)??

Depends on how good of a deal you can get on MS Points. For instance, when I got my 8,000 points at the start of last year, I paid only $80 for it total (NewEgg had the 4,000 point cards for $40 with free shipping). If you that type of a deal, I'd say go that way. Otherwise, pick up L4D2.

I'm passing on Borderland's. The complete and total change of the games background info, style, and atmosphere totally turned me off the game.

I got the dreaded "E74" error message today. Super pissed off because I really want to play Borderlands and now I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for my console to get fixed.
